Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 183: The Caravan in the City That Never Sleeps (Revised)

Not only was the Dragon-Seeking Temple destroyed, but even the Lord of Dragon-Seeking Mountain was destroyed by the Travel Village.

This frightened them, and they quickly used that special method to teleport back and told the city lord about this matter.

When their city lord learned that the Dragon-Seeking Temple had been destroyed, he was also shocked and immediately gave up his previous recruitment plan and switched to diplomacy.

There's no way, he can't afford to offend such a great man, so it's better not to recruit him.

"Hurry up, we'll be there soon." One of the intelligence officers said.

The caravan immediately sped up.

Soon, they came within 1000 meters of the Journey Village.

Suddenly, everyone became more energized.

Because after entering here, everyone suddenly felt that their visibility had greatly increased.

At the same time, the surrounding temperature was rising rapidly.

Originally, even in the early night, the temperature could drop to minus 40 degrees Celsius, which was very scary.

But they were shocked to find that after entering this range, the temperature rose rapidly to around 10° above zero.

This is incredible.

The two intelligence members looked at each other, both feeling unbelievable.

Although they had heard that the area within the journey was warm before, wasn't this magical environment only found inside the journey village?

This place is still thousands of meters away from the Journey Village!
Besides, the last time they came here, it wasn’t that magical.

That time, they were only 500 meters away from the journey, and they did not experience this kind of warm feeling.

"By the way, the Travel Village has not been here for long. Will the scope of this warmth increase over time?" one of them said.

The other person felt that it was very likely.

This should be the only possibility.

The group continued walking forward.

There was thick snow a thousand meters away, but there was no snow at all here.

Although the ground was wet and the soil was loose and soft after the permafrost melted, they were used to walking on hard permafrost, so they were a little uncomfortable walking on this road for a while.

But this does not affect their liking for this environment.

At this time, the secret sentries arranged by Zong Ni had already discovered this group of people.

……

"Village Chief, I spotted a group of people approaching this way. They look like traveling merchants, but they are all wearing armor."

A villager ran over and said quickly, "I sensed a strong aura from them. I suspect that even if they are not psychics, they are certainly not ordinary people."

"Oh?"

Liu Hen was curious: "All of you follow this village chief out to take a look."

He called Hong Ming and Zong Ni and walked towards the village entrance. Xiao Heishi naturally followed quickly.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the village and saw a caravan heading towards them from afar.

The vehicle used to transport the goods was actually a spider truck, and this type of vehicle actually appeared in such a far place.

Liu Hen couldn't help but suspect that this kind of vehicle might have appeared a long time ago, and people nowadays must have been relying on past achievements.

However, it must be said that this spider car is indeed very suitable for bumpy and rugged mountain roads. It can even travel on steep slopes, but it is difficult to increase the speed.

"Village chief, it's them." said the villager who came to report.

Liu Hen nodded, waved his hand to let the villager leave, and then stood at the entrance of the village waiting patiently.

A few minutes later, people from the City That Never Sleeps arrived.

This group of people were very perceptive. Although they had not actually entered the Journey Village, they could all feel it.

It was as if an invisible force had eliminated all the strong winds inside the magical village ahead.

Even though it was very warm outside, the wind was still howling and could knock an ordinary person over.

But inside the seemingly small village, there was tranquility, as if there was something sheltering it.

Everyone was even more shocked.

But they soon realized that the Journey Village had even destroyed the Dragon Temple, so it didn't seem strange that it had such power.

"Who is coming?" Hong Ming suddenly asked loudly.

The people in the City That Never Sleeps immediately stopped a hundred meters away.

The leader clasped his fists and said, "We are from the City That Never Sleeps, and have come here specifically to trade with the Journey Village."

"Are you here to trade?"

Liu Hen immediately lost interest: "Zong Ni, you will be in charge of the transaction. Hong Ming, if you are interested, you can participate, but don't interfere."

Because he didn't sense the presence of the psychic, he turned around and left. He was very busy.

Hong Ming: “…”

"correct……"

Suddenly Liu Hen turned around and asked Zong Ni: "Wait a minute and ask them if they have a gold mine. If not, you can deal with it yourself. Call me when you find one."

"Yes, village chief." Zong Ni answered respectfully.

Liu Hen went back to study the food.

However, after having rice, his desire for other foods was not so strong.

After studying for more than ten minutes and seeing that no new food appeared, he returned to the village chief's residence.

"Oh right, I haven't done today's synthesis yet. Let's try and see if I can win the jackpot." With a thought, he came to the creation workbench.

Although the Creation Workbench is working and has been used to produce spiritual fields during this period, the Creation Synthesis function can also be used together without any conflict in functions.

……

At this time, the team from the City That Never Sleeps had already entered the Travel Village.

The group was surprised to find that, just as they expected, there was no wind at all and it was very warm.

Everyone was extremely shocked.

Although this village is much smaller than the city that never sleeps, the streets here are very clean, the buildings are neatly arranged, and the environment is especially beautiful.

It's exactly the place they've always dreamed of.

"Huh? Is that blood rice?" Suddenly someone pointed at the spiritual field in the distance in surprise.

"Blood rice?"

Upon hearing this, the others hurriedly looked in the direction of the person who spoke.

When they saw the rice in the spiritual fields, they all showed shock on their faces.

"Is that blood rice?"

"You can actually grow blood rice?"

Everyone in the city that never sleeps was shocked.

The growing environment of blood rice is very special, and it should not be able to be grown on the surface.

Moreover, they didn't smell any blood, so this didn't seem like the environment for growing blood rice.

"Blood rice?"

Hong Ming was puzzled, then explained: "That is rice, not the blood rice you are talking about."

"paddy?"

……

The village chief lives inside.

Liu Hen waited patiently.

One minute passed quickly.

Something unexpected happened to him. A new item appeared in the finished product slot.

'Is this a jackpot?'

Liu Hen was overjoyed and quickly checked what it was.

What happened next surprised him, because the new item turned out to be a pickaxe.

That's right, a pickaxe.

However, this pickaxe is very different from the All Things Pickaxe, as it does not have an axe-like blade on the other end.

[Mining Pickaxe: A pickaxe specifically used for mining. It contains 10 space backpacks. It cannot be bound and can only be used by villagers with Travel Village membership.]

"Is this a replica of the Wanwu Gou?"

Liu Hen was surprised.

Because of this thing, it seems that I don’t have to mine myself anymore in the future.

As long as you give this pickaxe to some villagers, they can do the work for you.

"But, won't this make the people of the Stone Tribe unemployed?"

Liu Hen thought about it and finally decided to let the people of the Yuanshi tribe use these pickaxes.

As for other villagers, they can be arranged to grow rice.

'Yes, let them grow rice so I can free up my time for other things.'

With a pickaxe, the mining speed will definitely increase greatly, and there will be no need for people to carry the ore specifically.

By then, a large number of villagers will have time to spare.

Liu Hen felt that he was getting closer and closer to becoming a true hands-off boss.

The emergence of these special items can make use of the villagers' labor force.

However, since iron ore and other resources were not in short supply at the moment, he did not start making it immediately.

"I haven't used up all ten combinations today. Will I win the jackpot again?"

Liu Hen chose to continue synthesizing.

But unfortunately, my luck for today has obviously run out.

After he had used up all 10 synthesizing methods, no new formula appeared.

"Sir, Zong Ni wants to see you for something." At this time, Xiao Heishi walked in and said.

"Is there a gold mine?"

Liu Hen was delighted and quickly walked out of the room and left the village chief's residence.

Zong Ni was already waiting outside.

"Is there a gold mine?" Liu Hen asked impatiently.

The Pickaxe of All Things has reached the maximum silver level. As long as there is a piece of gold mine, it can be directly upgraded to gold level.

However, he was soon disappointed.

Zong Ni shook her head and replied, "Those people didn't bring any gold. By the way, Village Chief, that caravan is from the city that never sleeps, thousands of kilometers away. They brought a special kind of snake meat and hope to exchange it with us for rice."
